| The road to hell? |
Humans are creatures
who by nature live and operate within a rather short time-frame.
Therein is the prime difficulty in having people understand
the unfolding complexities of climate change – in a geological sense the
outcomes of climate change will be here “tomorrow”, but on a human time-scale,
those complexities are considered, by many, to be, wrongly a lifetime a way.
The science is now telling us that even people who are
middle-aged today (50-60) will feel the early beginnings of a changed climate,
their children most definitely and their grandchildren, oh dear!
Writing in a story headed: “United Nations predicts climate hell in 2050 with imagined weather forecasts” The Guardian tells about 'Reports
from the future' that warn of floods, storms and searing heat”.
Interestingly 2050 is simply too far away for most people to
contemplate or plan for.
